Marist students 'siblings' to local youngsters by Janet McLoughlin

Although there are more than 3,000 peo­ple on campus to befriend, two Marist students have sought the rewards of off-campus friendships.' Sophomores John Montanaro and Mary Jo Murphy are in-" volved in Dutchess County's Big Brother, Big Sister program.

"You get a satisfaction in. helping somebody," said Montanaro, from Toron­to, Canada. "It 's nice to know you are giv­ing rather than receiving, but in a way you are receiving too."

Montanaro, who has been involved in the program since September, is a Big

Brother to Duane, a 14-year-old Poughkeepsie boy. —

Duane is one of many children in the county who comes from a. broken home, and through the Big .Brother, Big; Sister agency was able to fill a gap in his life. -

"You are a model that they can follow," Motanaro said. "You want the kid to open up to you first. Your role is not to change the kid but to be there when he needs you for some advice." Montanaro said he sees Duane once a week for two to five hours, when they go shopping, rollerskating or come to campus.

Montanaro said he hopes to continue the

program next year, but said he would like to get a little brother from a more troubled environment than Duane's. He added though, he wants to remain close friends with Duane. -

Montanaro," along with Sister Eileen Halloran, assistant director of campus ministry, and other Marist students are looking into starting a program on campus to get more students involved in helping children who need sotne extra attention.

Murphy, from Highland, N.Y., became involved in the program in December, because she said she wanted to help out a

child who wasn't as fortunate as herself. "I had a very good childhood and I felt

sorry for these kids because most of them have a hard life," she said. "I wanted the chance to share what I had with a little sister.".

Murphy's little sister is 7-year-old Shan­non, who she said comes from a low in­come familyand suffers from apathy.

"She's not used to getting so much atten­tion. When she's around my family she's the center of attention and she shys away from it," Murphy said. "She's a very af-

Laser discs: Quick surge as newfound sensation

which results in pver-crpwding. • :';'.'..-"The population in the county jails has increased to the point where they face a crisis situation; expand or build new jails," he said. "Our basic idea here is to reduce inappropriate incarcera­tion."

A bill, known as the Marino Slaughter Act was passed by the state legislature in August 1984. It offers participating counties assistance in developing a pro­gram and $30,000 in matching grants if they choose this option. Counties would also be able to reduce their system of classifying inmates to four classes,. which McDonald said would make it easier for judges to determine how serious an offense was. -_";

Richard Mathews, chairman of the task force, said Ulster County may be interested in the program, since the goal of the task force is

to provide alternative sentencing to first time offenders of non­violent crimes.

McDonald suggested the coun­ty expand their policy for releas­ing an offender on his own recognizance. He said with pretrial releases certain inmates could be released in the custody of a probation officer, or other third party, or a domicile release, where the prisoner would be re­quired to be at work or home on­ly. Community action programs, where offenders would put hard manual labor to work for the community, is another proposal.

McDonald said community ac­tion programs and pretrial releases would only be available to those who had roots in the community, had been employed before arrest, had some ties or success within the community, had no prior arrests, and live with

a family. ''It makes more sense than put­

ting someone in jail or on proba­tion," he said. '

The task force has made recom­mendations to the Ulster County Legislature, which include developing a community service mechanism. The legislature has also provided money for the released on recognizance program in the probation department, another task force recommenda­tion.

The task force has sent a letter of intent to the state for applica­tion. But they still have until May 1 ; to come up with an alternate program proposal and a final decision on whether they will develop this program.

However, Mathews said, they first must get more data from

construction is completed

by Dan Meyerson s

Bridge re-construction at the intersection of Route 9 and Washington Street, directly across from the Marist College campus, has been completed, according to a New York State Department of Transportation engineer, i

Final grading, smoothing and paving of the bridge and Route 9 extensions will be finished in the spring when weather permits, said John Burns, a DOT engineer.

The construction entailed building a new sub-base and replacing the Route 9G bridge over the Conrail railroad tracks.

During the construction, a temporary bridge was installed as an entrance way onto Washington Street from Route 9, while there was no direct en­trance to Route 9 from Washington Street.

When asked why the bridge construction was not done when the intersection was replaced earlier, Burns said, they ( the b r idge re ­construction and new in­tersection) were two separate contracts each needing ap­proval in Albany.

juggling team keeps audience in the air byWilUamHare -

"• Sickles, eggs, a skillet and a piece of dry ice are a few of the objects that are juggled by, the Flying Karamazov' Brothers, an act that mixes vaudeville skits and quick one-liners with Marx:

Brothers type comedy and characters from a Russian novel.

But one-other object that the Karamazovs juggle — one that is handled with such deft and agility that the audience doesn't realize what is happening — is the au­dience itself^ .; ; ;

The Karamazov's performance at the - Bardavon 1869 Opera House last Friday night defined juggling to its fullest. It not only means to keep several objects in motion in air at the same time — which the Karamazovs do quite well — it also means to manipulate, especially in order to achieve a desired end.

The Karamazovs juggle their audiences into laughter.

Sam Williams, who plays Sirier-dyakov Karamazov — a Ioveable bearded gnome who immediately

. gains the audience's affection with his child-like innocence — said that surprise is a critical ele­ment of the Karamazov's show.

"It's a basic technique of com­edy to have people getting the im­pression that you're heading in one direction and suddenly end up 90 degrees over to the left of where they're anticipating you to go," Williams said said.

The Karamazovs — Timothy

^ F y o d o r " Furst, Randy / 'Alyosha" Nelson, Paul David

"Dmitri" Magid, Howard Jay ?'Ivan" Patterson and Williams — aren't just jugglers, for juggl­ing is only the canvas on which

/they paint - = their masterpiece. While flying objects dazzle your eyes, puns and; one-liners tickle

'. yourears. ^ "Watch your language!" "English. What's yours? "

"There's an appreciable quan­tity of juggling in the show," said Williams, " but I wouldn't be sur- < prised if it was only 30 percent of the time that we're juggling."

Yet without the canvas, there would be no painting, and the Karamazovs use juggling to pro­vide a variety of effects including musical entertainment.

Using rubber balls, pins, drums and a xylophone the Karamazovs create a syncopated rhythm that is not only enjoyable to listen to, but also to watch. Of course there is always a one-liner:

"This next piece is Allegro, which in English means the Rpckettes."

If the jugglers aren't providing the music, then the Kamikaze Groundcrew, their side-kick five member band, is playing Klezmer music, a sort of be bop sound one might hear at a, Jewish circus.

The Karamazovs were founded by Patterson and Magid in 1974. At that time they started street' performing in San Francisco. Since then the troupe has been on Broadway, has won a Village

Voice Obie and is now in the midst of a 65 city American tour.

Williams said that street perfor-ming'prepared them for the stage. "It was very much our learning ground," Williams said. '"We learned a tremendous variety of ways to hold an1 audience's atten­tion." . !

"There isn't an audience there to begin with. You'have to create the audience, the theater and the show from scratch on the street. Playing the theatre is easy com­pared to the street, because people come specifically to see the show." • ; '•

The audience plays a big part in keeping the shows fresh from place to place said Williams. "If the audience is having a good time, it's hard for us not to," said Williams. "Aside from that, we have a couple of different por­tions of our show that are built to include improvisations."

One of those portions of the show is what the Karamazovs call the gamble. The champ, Ivan, challenges the audience to give him any three objects — heavier than an ounce, lighter than ten pounds and smaller than a bread box — that he must juggle for the count of ten. If he wins, he gets a standing ovation. If he loses, he gets a pie in the face.

Williams said that the gamble is always different because they never know what might show up. In the past there has been potted plants, water balloons with nails in them, and a variety of food

items such as fish, squid and pies. Out of the odd assortment of

objects thrown up on stage last Friday, the audience chose a three foot long water balloon, a small portable type writer and a large, semi-frozen fish. !

Ivan Lost. The Karamazovs have many

other gambles within their show; when one juggles meat cleavers, sickles, swords and flaming tor­ches, there is always a chance of being injured.

Ivan, according to Williams, had his thumb split down to the first knuckle during a rehearsal. "He had to go to the hospital to get it stitched up and bandaged, so everyone in the show wore ban­dages on their thumbs that night," said Williams.

The Karamazovs success is growing. Williams said that 20th Century Fox has offered them a part in a sequal to "Romancing the Stone." "We are especially eager about the fact that we're do­ing movies," said Williams. "But we'll never give up live perfor­ming, because this is where it all comes from."

The show has ended and it's time to pack. Everyone pitches in and Williams must do his share of the work. His eyes twinkle and a sly mischievous smile peeks through his bushy beard as he gives his last comment. The ever present one-liner:

"Time flieslike an arrow; fruit-flies like a banana."

Paranoia ' / •

When telephone credit abuse ran through the dorms, the Marist administration was careful to keep the problem internal. At the

/time, last fall, the costof the credit abuse I was an estimated $15,000.

Yet when three yearbooks, a total value of about $78, were missing from the Campus ' Center, college officials immediately called the police and filed charges against four alleged "thieves." • The four arrests never should have been

made, and - soon all the charges were dropped.

But the phone credit scam is not a ' mistake. Between $1,000 and $2,000 was. stolen. If you want to be technical, a federal [ offense was committed. But until the very end of the investigation, Marist officials asserted that it didn't involve the college and refused to assist the investigator from the phone company.

Apparently, justice at Marist depends on whose money is involved.

What is the college trying to prove by smoke-screening legitimate investigations? That it is not responsible for the actions of its students?More likely the administration is trying to. keep its name out of "bad

press." But don't the administrators realize that "cover up" is even more intriguing to reporters than "scandal?"

Don't they realize that the quickest way to earn respect in the public eye is to admit a mistake openly? By coming clean the first time,.they stop the press from dragging a questionable story through the mud. -

Honesty cannpt be legitimately attacked. Earlier this month the Associated Press

ran a story about the phone fraud and named only two of "several" colleges-in-vloved. Marist was one of them. The un­named schools most likely cooperated with the investigators and were spared public embarrassment. So Marist's strategy backfired. The very same "bad press" that the college tried to avoid ran because Marist couldn't be honest in public. (If "Judeo-Christian" is supposedly our heritage, shouldn't our "elders" set an "honest" example?) '

When will administrators wake up and realize that honesty is much more respectable than a smoke-screen?

If Marist wants to avoid "bad press," it has to overcome its paranoia. A little honest cooperation goes a long way.

A peaceful river The class of '85 could be a class to

remember. It could set an example as the class that cared. It could be the class that made River Day safe.

Last weed's editorial "River's end?" raised a few! eyebrows. Some people sup­ported it, some wanted to burn: it, others didn't care.(The truth is that everyone should care about River Day.

River Day affects all of Marist. It involves every person associated with the college and greatly influences Marist's repuation.

" If this reputation, is to be saved, each member of the Marist community has to make a committment to change: Before anything large-scale change can happen, everyone has to believe in it. Before we even begin to debate the River Day issue openly, everyone has to-come to terms with the problem. We must admit that River Day can be lethal. Before anyone gets killed, we have

to care enough to change things. As it stands now, River Day will not

happen in 1985. After the last year's disaster, the administration is committed to stopping it in its tracks.

- I n response to this, some students are committed to challenging this authority with force. Before anything tragic happens this year, we all have to take a common sense: approach to the problem. No one wants to see anyone get hurt. It's not just the seniors' responsibility to ensure that River Day does not get out of control; it's everyone's. The one thing Marist has going for it is people who care about each other. Caring doesn't begin in April. It's early enough to keep River Day from destroying the best part of Marist. If River Day is to be controlled, we have to start now.

WMCR •To the Editor:

I am the News Director of WMCR and I am writing this let­ter to clear-up a couple of misconceptions about the radio station.

The first misconception is that WMCR does not play "good" music. The people who hold this ' misconception usually consider "good" music "to be the Top 40 songs that many radio stations play with constant repetition. If you happen to be one of these people then WMCR is probably not ^he_ station for- you. If,

' however, you are looking to avoid the monotony -of contemporary-hit radio, WMCR is your channel for escape. Our alternative listen­ing experience, which includes the new as well as old music, is what you have been looking for.

The second misconception, which is of greatest importance to me, is the idea that_WMCR does nothing but play music. I wish to point out to those of you who share this belief that you are in­

deed mistaken. Since I have become News Director we have strived to keep the Marist com­munity informed about campus happenings. With the help of Joe Didzuilis and Carl MacGowan the news department reported many of last semester's major stories in­cluding the baseketball coaching change, the new college apart­ments and a fatal accident that in­volved a campus visitor. We also provide continuous updates of na­tional and state news with our connection with the Association Press. We are making a genuine effort to keep you informed with

"our regularly scheduled newscasts seven days a week.

I hope this letter will clear-up the things I have mentioned. All that the WMCR management staff asks is that you give us a good listen before you criticize our efforts.

v , Sincerely,. Gary A. Davis

Is there hope for prime-time television? by Anthony DeBarros

One day a friend who is learned in probability told me that if he were to place ten monkeys in a room with ten typewriters, and allowed them to punch keys at random for ten hours a day, sooner or later one of them would .type out one complete work of Shakespeare.

What I would like to know is, ^ why can't television script writers,

who are supposedly a lot brighter than your average monkey, think

- up an original plot line? Granted, most of them don't work ten hour days, but there must be a" great number of people banging away at typewriters and* word pro­cessors for Hollywood produc­tion companies and the major net­works. It seems that even the laws of chance would" allow the average television viewer to enjoy

something original during prime time.

, Let's leave out the mini-series and informative news programs like "20/20," because,the mini-series is usually based on a good literary work, and news shows depict reality, which should be more than interesting enough for anyone. What I don't find tasty is the endless barrage of what I call "formula" shows. These basical­ly fall into three categories: sit­coms, police shows and night­time dramas. This is not saying that there aren't any good shows that fall into these categories. "Cagney and Lacey," "Hill Street Blues," "Family Ties" and "Paper Dolls," in my opinion, are examples of good television. What sets these apart from the others is their original treatment of basically the same subjects we've been watching on the tube

foryears. ', What makes the others boring

is the fact that though the faces may be different, the plot lines are always the same. If the same actors were in "Miami Vice," "TJ Hooker" and "Riptide," what else would set them apart from each other? The story rarely varies: an evil villian, who usually is suffering from some type of rare Freudian psycho problem, commits an offense against a totally defenseless victim, and our heroes track him down after ex-

' tensive legwork and close brushes with death.

Similarly, sitcoms follow their own formula. Aside from the faces, what is the difference between "Alice," "Three's a Crowd" and "Gimmea Break?" Or for that matter, can you find anything to differentiate the sex­ploitation of "Dallas," "Dynas­

ty" or "Knot's Landing?" I can't offer a solution to the

mindless programming, but I do think that we, being intelligent college students, should be of­fended that the networks think their evening fare is stimulating. Many of the best shows on TV to­day are late night reruns of "The Honeymooners," "Odd Cou­ple," "Star Trek" and "Twilight Zone." It may all be a matter of] taste, but the networks sooner or1

later will have to come up with something to rival the wit and i spark of those "ancients." '

Perhaps those older shows, and even fairly contemporary classics . like "M*A*S*H," have a lesson for modern script writers. Those shows didn't rely on a quota of four deaths per hour, or subliminal sexual themes to hold the viewers interest. People faithfully watched those shows

because they all had some semblance of human nature, some intangible quality that made them different.. They didn't always follow the formula.. Though the concepts weren't always entirely original, the writing was very good, the jokes kept coming, or in the case of "Star Trek" and "Twilight Zone," the unexpected twist lent the show a mysterious quality that nothing can rival today.

Let's hope that when our generation makes it into those posh Hollywood 'think tanks,' we'll have more to offer the next generation of television watchers than what's available today, and maybe exceed anything that's sure to still be in reruns by then.

Beyond the shell of a subway car in which Bernhard Hugo Goetz shot four teenagers is a whole range of questions and dilemmas concerning law, crime, justice, psychoanalysis, urban sociology and a few other things that drive us crazy. Herein some of those questions and a little benign sophistry for the purpose of wasting valuable newspaper space.

What are the rights of in­dividuals! I know, I know — Goetz was striking a blow for humanity, standing up for what's right. "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" He was taking care of himself and making those thugs think twice. In other words, it's revolution, that time-honored social condi­tion that no one condones and everyone dreams about. Taken to its logical conclusion, the subway incident is a microcosm of (take your pick). the rise of the Con­federacy, the Bolshevik Revolu­tion, rebel-activity — right and left — in Central America, the bombing of abortion clinics, etc. When The Law is unresponsive — perceived as unresponsive — to the populace, the people react. It's right there in the Declaration of. independence.

What about the victims of crimel As Bernhard Goetz is a rebellious victim of crime, so are the four kids he shot. They are from the South Bronx. Yes, there are some nice neighborhoods in that area, but judging from the tenement doors behind which the youths hide from reporters, I don"t think I'd want to live there. Their front lawns are concrete; spray-painted grafitti substitutes fori.the Sunshine Yellow and Avocado Green that suburbanites use on their houses. Theschools are run down, streets full of drug dealers. Basically,' not a pleasant

place to live. Places like this have seen politicians of all stripes come and go. Society ignores them — IBM and Chrysler don't build plants in the South Bronx. Darrel Cabey and the others learned that, to make it, you got to be tough, don't let anybody push you around. Capitalism in its lowest form is the way to survive.

Whatever happened to law and order! Law and order, you say? Well, have I got the place for you. The Soviet Union — law and order capital -of the-world!!! WaitillUseedisplace! Murder rate second to none, people can walk the streets at night, cops on every corner peering into every window to make sure nobody's messing around. And the subway! No grafitti here, folks — clean as the day it was built. They even got chandeliers hanging from the ceil­ing! Clean, quiet cars. Trie perfect place to raise children. So, what do you say?, :;•."..' ; J -">;"::"•.••... •-' What is justice! Justice is to see something for what it is. It can't be measured." in prison terms, vengeful satisfaction or any of the traditional methods of organized justice. For instance, murder is not always murder, according to the jargon of the skilled realist. Murder is alternately termed homicide, pacification, abortion, capital punishment, neutraliza­tion, termination and other n i ce t i e s . Then t h e r e ' s manslaughter, which solmds like murder, but don't be Ideceived. Manslaughter — as I figure it — is murder by those too embarass-ed to admit to it. Something like that. Anyway, society is moody and is highly appreciative of murder when it's not called murder and when it suits certain needs. To the 20-year-old who returns from battle with his chest lined with ribbons, we raise a toast. He has dutifully carried out heinous acts of barbarism for the service of his country. May God

The man awakes to the sound of something clanking in the kit­chen. Prowlers, like the ones that took the neighbors' TV last year. He reaches into the drawer and picks up the gun he had purchased and had registered with the police. He knew this day would come, now he's, going to waste those punks. He creeps toward the front of the house, looking for shadows on the walls. He hears Something, a chair in the dining room. Shoot first, before he does. He steadies himself, then leaps in­to the room. "Freeze!" Blam, Blam, Blam. A glass of milk falls to the floor, the liquid mixing with the blood spilling out of the body of his eight-year-old son.

Just past midnight, deep within a prison, Mugsy McDougall is fit­ted with leather straps across his wrists and a beenie.over his skull. The blindfold around his head is tight, but he manages to hear the warden's request for his last words. " I ain't got nothing to say." All's ready, and the switch is thrown. Two minutes and a few thousand watts later, the power is shut off as Mugsy's body shakes and puke spills from his mouth. He inhales reflexiyely, the body unwilling to accept the rules of The Law. Six minutes pass-and the doctors are sent in. A pulse is found. He ain't dead yet. The switch is thrown again, another two minutes at the same volume. Mugsy's body lies limp as the heat fills the room. What's he in for? No one's quite sure; either the cop killer or the one who uses the Boy Scout knife. The doctors return to the room. Yep, he's dead, all right.

An Invitation to Our Readers...

For the past year, Viewpoint has been a forum for essays written by Circle readers. We have tried5to p / print commentary on a wide range of topics, from smoking in public to the role of religious studies in a college education, from DWI laws to diplomatic relations with the Vatican. We have been happy to proyide the space.

But we're not sure we can con­tinue doing so. '

Frankly, the response has been;

disappointing. We appreciate those readers who have taken the time to write for jViewpoint, but they have been too few. We like to i think Viewpoint is an important part; of the paper, and we want to keep it in The Circle. But the deci­sion is really yours.

Once more, we are inviting you to submit essays for publication. They should be 500 to 700 words and sent to Pete Colaizzo, The Circle. If we get contributions, we will continue to run Viewpoint. If we don't, we will use the space for other things.

We think Viewpoint's worth keeping alive. We hope you do, too.

'Micki and Maude'

On the one hand, it always restores one's faith in justice when someone crusades for your rights... - But on the other, sometimes these self-sacrificing Libertarians don't press far enough. It seems as though only the most egregious wrongs are set right, the less ob­viously offensive ignored.

Consider, if you will, this un­finished business relating to a cer-tain~assistant dean of student af­fairs at Marist who also happens to hold a certain position in a cer­tain religious organization. You all know who I'm talking about, though he'll remain nameless here due to the gravity of this certain situation.

But you all know who I mean. Don't you?

Well, this certain man, it seems, has been holding both religious and administrative posi­tions for, well, years. And, until a certain campus newspaper alertly blew the whistle, he was getting away with it. j

The official student body state­ment on the affair has details: "...and not only getting.away with it, but flaunting itl 1 mean, there are these certain clothes he wears as part of his, you know, his religious thing, and it's like he's been known to actually wear these around when he's supposed to, be doing his administrative

thing. Like, with students and all, you know? •;• -r . .* .• * ,-, "It's'. 'like 'such -a totally awesome problem.-1 mean,, here he is and all, supposedly trying to' be like so fair and everything, like, as an assistant dean, and all the time he's really still caught up in this religious deal, you know? This is, like, some serious conflict of interest to the max, right? And they expect us to believe there's nothing tojt. Oh, sure, like tell \is another 6'rie."..

'Cause we all know better. Don't we?«.

Of couse we do. ,The question is, will we be" satisfied with just running this guy out of a job, or will we gun-for others? Will we.let the dirty laundry lie in the closets of academia, or make a thorough housecleaning?

Let's make it a housecleaning, I " say. And I'm ready to do my part of the dirty work.' I'll name names, if need be. I'll turn my back on decent people. I'll be cheap, petty and vile — anything in the name of what is -right, because there's more to this than meet the eye.'Or nose.

For example, I have informa­tion that a tenured professor in the division of arts and letters, when just 19 years old, had a disastrous love affair with a red-haired girl named Wilma. He has disliked redheads ever since, and to this day will not award a grade above B to anyone with red hair

There is good news in Mudville tonight. Good news, anywhere ac­tually; good news for anyone who is a fan, not only of comedy but of Dudley Moore. Dudley Moore's latest effort is a film en­titled "Micki and Maude"' and for said fans, the movie is an en­joyable way to spend a couple of hours. ' \ . '*" ' ." '

Moore plays a television news reporter who - wants . better assignments He ,also wants a

Special ed. program established by Michael Scott Mueller

Marist College has established a new program with Vassar College that will certify graduates of the program to teach special or elementary education, or both. -

The' decision to begin the program was based on the in­crease in mainstreaming education in elementary .schools throughout the country. Main-streaming education, a federal law, is the process of educating handicapped students in the least restrictive environment. Acc-cofding to the law, main-streaming is ideal with peers in local schools, said Liz Nolan, coordinator of the Marist teacher education program.

A notable problem has been the teachers' inability to combine •special and elementary education without hindering the process for either - party, Nolan said. The Marist/Vassar program is geared to certify teachers to teach in mainstream classrooms.

There are currently five Marist students enrolled in the program for the spring semester which requires them to take two courses atj Vassar College. Vassar students will begin taking courses at'Marist in the Fall semester of 1985.

The students in the program then spend time in the Vassar pre­

school applying what they have learned in the classroom. There are, however,. no handicapped children in the Vassar pre-school.

According to Robin Treainor, coordinator - for the Vassar College teacher education program, the combination of the pre-school and the classroom provides an internship-like set­ting.

"The students learn theory in the classroom and then apply what they have learned when they visit the pre-school a short time later," Treainor said. "This allows the students to try strategies with the children with a great deal of immediacy, providing feedback for the students."

Treainor also said that working in the pre-school allows the students to recognize children's needs early.

There was no mention by either Nolan or Treainor about using the Marist Pre-school:

Maureen Ferguson, a Marist sophomore from Staten Island, said she feels Marist College has played a factor in her decision to teach special education. "I am a Psychologymajor, but now I have an interest in special education because of my interaction with handicapped people at Marist as a result of the Special Services Program," she said.

The amount of interaction with

Vassar students by. Marist students" has been notable. Both Nolan and Treainor said the transition has been very smooth.

According to Linda Smith, a " Marist sophomore from Bayville,, "The only thing better than the Vassar name is the Vassar people. "They really advocate in­dependence, but they will give you help when you need it. I wouldn't consider transferring. This way, I can have the best of both worlds.'!

For the past ten years, Marist College offered teacher education in conjunction with Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh. According to Nolan, "Mount Saint Mary's no longer wanted to give Marist the luxury of both schools and phased out the program."

Requ i rements for the Marist/Vassar teacher education program include a 2.5 minimum G.P.A. and the maintainence of a C average. The student is also required • to take a series of Psychology courses at Marist.

According to Nolan, if the demand for the program in­creases, more sections of classes will be added at both schools. This semester, Marist is providing transportation to Vassar, via the school vans. However, there are no definite plans to have the vans run after that, she said.

What to try for Valentine buy byScotScala

- ' - , • ?r--. "

What are the.hottest gifts to give for this Valentine's Day? Some local Poughkeepsie shops have the answer.

According to '- Chris, a saleswoman at the Book and Record store in the Main Market Mall, teddy bears are the best sell­ing item'at her'sh'op.

Although sales at thistime are rather slow, Chris said she expects the Valentine's rush to begin later in the week and hopefully sale of the little fury fellows will increase as well.

While strolling into the Celebrate store located in the Main Market Mall, one may notice the array of hanging Valen­tine's Day balloons, chuckling clowns", fuzzy unicorns, and overweight cupids with bow and arrow in hand. But the mainstay of Valentine's Day shopping, displayed in the case adjacent to the cashier, are chocolate hearts in a multitude of sizes.

"Chocolate hearts are the best-selling Valentine's gift in our shop now," said Carol, a saleswoman for the Celebrate store. /Carol

Sophomore wins cruise

Meredith Lima is going on a cruise to nowhere, she doesn't know who she is taking or even when she leaves.

Lima, a Marisr sophomore, won the cruise in a raffle at Satur­day's Bon Voyage/Video Mixer, but was not present at the mid­night drawing.

"My friends came and woke me up later to tell me," said Lima.-"Then,my room started to Jill up with people who wanted to congratulate me." : ,. Lima said that she.has not been given any details about the cruise and does not know who she is tak­ing with her.. "But I have to ad­mit, I've had a lot of offers," she said. ,j:: •

;<-o£_Jo pointed to tradition as the main reason for the popularity of can­dy hearts.

At the House of Cards, com­bination gifts are the most popular. A balloon bouquet, one-pound candy heart and a greeting card all sold together are a hot item, according to saleswoman Naomi Goldberg. But. wait — that's not all. To top off the entire deal, Goldberg added, "We can even deliver the gifts to your favorite lover." i

Roses have always ,j been

popular during Valentine's Day, according - to Steve Morgan, owner of Morgan's Valley View Florist in downtown Poughkeep­sie. "Women are - purchasing several roses for men, whereas men are usually purchasing; only one rose for women," said Morgan.

Morgan said he wasn't sure why such a contrast in buying trends existed in the two genders. However, there was one detail he said he was certain of: ' 'Red roses,", he said, "are'definitely the hottest!"

fectipnate kid and she's slowly opening up tome." • ,-.!: " According to.-.Murphy, to. be-a Big Brother or Sister,'you must be consistent and dependable."'

"If you tell your little sister you will pick her up at a certain time, you should.make sure you are there at that time," she said.

Conversations with little brothers and sisters should be kept confidential, she said. In setting goals for activities, the achievements should be fun and the children should have a say in the decision making.

"I let Shannon decide the day's ac­tivities. I want her to benefit from this rela­tionship," Murphy said.

. Big Brothers and Sisters aren't the only ones with guidelines, Murphy said. Parents have a few ground rules to follow. They have to realize the Big Brother or Sister is not a taxi cab service nor a babysitter. The parents should be flexible and give the rela­tionship some time, at least six months, she said, to establish trust. And most of all, the

parent can't deny the Big Brother or Sister a weekly visit."" ..

Murphy said she hopes to continue with the program and would like to stay with Shannon to keep developing therelation-ship. * "It's a satisfying experience. I feel good

about myself for participating in the pro­gram," she said.

Laurie Stewart,' a senior at Vassar Col­lege who is doing an internship with the agency, said becoming involved in the pro­gram requires a detailed process, which begins with an orientation. The applicant then must fill out a form supplying references. Stewart said the next step is a very personal and in-depth screen interview by the agency.

"We want to find out about the person's emotional stability and family life," she said. Although the Dutchess County agency has had no problems with child molesting, Stewart said it is cautious about

• this. The agency would reject a person with emotional insecurities and family pro

blems, she said. "Most of our children are troubled and

they need someone who is able to stick with the commitment," she said.

The Big Brothers and Sisters make a one-year commitment to the agency, agreeing to see the child once a week for two to five hours.

Children are referred to the agency by parents, schools or social agencies, Stewart said. The child and parent both have to want the services for the agency to become involved. After conducting a home inter­view with the child and parent, it matches a volunteer with a child. <

The agency stresses to applicants that they are neither a Santa Claus nor a parent figure, Stewart said.

"We ask that they don't spend a lot of money, in fact we encourage that they don't because then the relationship becomes material instead of emotional," she said. "And an emotional relationship is what we are looking for." !

Although many college students par­

ticipate in this program, it is not a require­ment. Stewart said most participants are between 20 and 30 years old.

"A lot of bur volunteers work for IBM and some are even middle aged, but we do have quite a few Marist' and Vassar students," she said.

Stewart said the agency has two cross-gendered members, part of a new program matching little girls with men and little boys with women. She said the two boys who are cross-gendered will be rematched with a male as soon as they get more volunteers. Currently, there is a waiting list of seventy boys for a Big Brother.

Montanaro said it's not uncommon to have cross-gendered members, but the agency likes to keep the boys with the men and the girls with the women because it's easier for the children to confide in so­meone of the same gender.

"Our goal here at the agency is that we hope these relationships will develop into a friendship that is long lasting," Stewart said.

by Michael Ruseskas :

Last week, a Marist professor and local gun shop owners spoke out on the Dec. 22 Bernhard Goetz shooting incident, saying, respectively, that there is a lack information on the case and that the occurrence has not led to a notable increase in gun sales.

Eugene Best, an associate pro­fessor in religious studies at Marist,- wouldn't take a definitive stance on the Goetz case because he said there isn't enough known about the case.

"It's strange that no complete report of the incident has been published, that no reporter has gone out and interviewed the other people who were in the sub­way car at the time to find out what they say happehea"," Best said. :_, '.,.' .

Best spoke up for the right of, an individual to defend oneself, but he made a distinction between self-defense and aggressive at­tack.

"I think anyone has the right to self-defense, but can't understand how or why some were shot in the back," Best said.

Best said that the answer as to whether or not one is justified in taking another life must be judg­ed individually in each incident. ; "Simplistic judgments on complex issues ignore the fact that any new variable influencing the situation can affect the judg­ment." Best said.

Those who have made a judg­ment to side with Goetz, however, are not necessarily buying guns for self protection, according to lb'cargun shop owners.

Fishkill Replica Arms, says he hasn't had any increase in sales since the incident.

"Most people in Dutchess County who own handguns use them for hunting or target prac­tice," Halpern said. "Occasional­ly a gas .;." station owner or storekeeper will be interested in a shotgun for self protection."

Workers at Adventure World in Poughkeepsie and Trap and Skeet Shop in Stormville have the same opinion. Neither shop has had a dramatic increase in handgun or rifle sales, nor do they anticipate one in the near future.

Although area gun shops have reported no increase in sales, Dut­chess County Sheriff Fred Scoralick has noted an increase in permit applications.

w.-;:"There has been an increase in handgun permit - applications," Scoralick said, "but I can't at­tribute it to the Goetz incident."

Scoralick stressed that at cer­tain times during the year hangun permit applications are much more frequent than other times.

"After the holiday season peo­ple are more apt to file for a han­dgun application," Scoralick said. "This is because many peo­ple get guns for presents and then must register them." '

It takes about four months to process a pistol permit applica­tion.

NCAA will penalize hoop program by Ian O'Connor

' Marist College President Dr. Dennis J. Murray says he does ex­pect "minor sanctions" to be placed on.the men's basketball program as a result of a recent in­quiry conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. ~ In a telephone interview-held earlier this week, Murray said he feels the division One program will be penalized by the NCAA, but that the sanctions will be of a "relatively low scale." '

"There will be some sanctions, but I don't feel they will be very serious," Murray said. "Our in­vestigation found that we've done nothing major like giving cash to players, fixing transcripts or giv­

ing phony credits to players." •/; Murray said he didn't wish to

speculate on what type. of sanc­tions Marist will receive from the NCAA, but ruled out "" the possibility of this year's team be­ing seriously affected. •;;...'

"This case won't be.closed until after the season and conference tournament," Murray said. "As for probation in the future, I wouldn't think so. That's just my opinion. It's in their hands."

Murray's comments came just days after he and Dean of Student Affairs Gerard Cox met with an NCAA investigator for five hours on Friday. The investigator came to Marist to review the college's report regarding the violations committed by former Head

Coach Mike Perry. Perry was forced to resign in September, and was replaced by current Head Coach Matt Furjanic.

Perry's dismissal prompted a six-week investigation into the basketball program, and was con­ducted by Cox. The findings of the college's investigation was sent to the NCAA in December.

"The purpose of the in­vestigator's visit was to review the report which we submitted to the NCAA," Murray said. "What he wanted was a clarification of the report. There was nothing that he questioned or thought was inac­curate. He wanted clarification, and asked for more - informa­tion."

Murray'said Cox will gather

more information for th'e NCAA, but said the process will only take 'a day or so.' Murray said the col­lege will send the second report to

_lhe NCAA by the end of the week. After receiving that report, Murray said the'NCAA will take whatever action it deems necessary.

"They don't tell us what their next step will be," Murray said. "The NCAA investigator will report his findings to his superior, who will then report to the NCAA infractions committee. The in­fractions committee will judge the report and make a final deci­sion."

Throughout the investigation, the college has refused to release any of the findings being reported

to the NCAA. Murray maintain-s

ed at the time of Perry's resigna­tion that the violations involved the foimer coach's offering of il­legal extra benefits to • one member of the team, on only one occasion.

Perry subsequently - told The Circle that he "probably commit­ted 40 violations" during his six-month tenure as Marist's head coach.' Murray said he wasn't sure if the NCAA plans to question the former coach on that statement.

"I don't know how much credence you can.put into that. It probably was a flippant remark and he didn't realize the seriousness of it," Murray said. "The NCAA may approach him on that matter. It's completely up to them."

Foxes split conference games, to host LIU on Saturday

by Dan Pietrafesa After splitting two ECAC

Metro games last week, the Foxes seek revenge in a crucial home game against conference leader Long Island University on Saturday.

The team was scheduled for a conference game last night at Robert Morris.

The Foxes entered last night's game in second place-with a 6-3

. record and one game behind LIU. Marist i s ' currently 4-0 in

conference home games • and' would liketo extend that-record to 5-0 in getting revenge for a-' 59-55 los's to LIU in January. ' - • • The .combination of Carey and

" Paul • Scurry led Coach Paul Lizzo's team to victory. Carey scored 20 points, 16 in the second half, and grabbed 14 rebounds. Paul chipped in 14 points in .the earlier matchup.

Carey Scurry, the 6-9 senior center and All-America - .can­didate, is leading the conference in both scoring and rebounding and ranks among the leaders in the nation in both categories. He is averaging better than 20 pointsper game, and almost 15 rebounds, third in the nation.

Paul Scurry, the 6-5 senior forward, is averaging close to 15 points and 8 rebounds a game.

The Scurrys give LIU an almost unstoppable inside game which is the key to their success.

"We must stop them inside," said Marist .Head Coach Matt Furjanic. "That will be the key."

After a 44-minute delay at the start of the game due to a blown transformer, the Foxes performed a blowout themselves in defeating Wagner 73-55.

The Foxes used an 8-0 spurt midway through the second half to take control of the see-saw battle. • /The delay affected the-early shooting of both teams as the first half stats "showed" both teams shooting only 38 percent.

It was a team effort as the Foxes were effective from the outside as well as from the inside.

Wagner double-teamed Rik Smits, leaving Steve Eggink and Bruce' Johnson open for easy jumpers. Johnson finished with a game-high 24 points and Eggink contributed 22, making this the

- first.time this season that two Marist players topped 20 points in a game.

Smits and Ted Taylor for­mulated a top-notch inside game for the victors. Smits chipped in 13 points and grabbed 8 rebounds while Taylor added 8 points and 7 boards.

Women hoopsters beat Colgate, loose to Monmouth last week by Maria Gordon

The Marist women's basketball team is ranked third in the ECAC Conference following a 63-51 win ' over Colgate and a loss to Mon­mouth by 53-68 last week.

"Our goal is to win the con­ference title and tournament. By losing to Monmouth, the goal is just a little harder to reach," Head Coach Pat Torza said. "Yet, anything could happen."

Torza accredited a solid team effort for the victory over Colgate in the first of last week's two games. Although Ursula Winter was high scorer with 16 points, "everybody came through with key baskets," Torza said. Paoline Ekambi scored the first 8 points for the Foxes, and Lynne Griffin and Jackie Pharr chipped in 9 and 8 points, respectively. Pharr also grabbed 9 rebounds, while Mary Jo Stempsey added 8.

Marist was up by 20 points at the half. "Colgate came out in a 2-3 defense in the second half,

which better suited their team," Torza said. "We're bigger and more physical so their man-to­man defense in the first half was ineffective." The Lady Foxes were shooting 50 percent from the floor against the man-lo-man, as opposed to just 31 percent against the zone. .

Torza said the problem was "gettingup" for the second half: "We played a good pressure defense. It sparked our offense and we began to hit." ,. j.

Val Winner led the offensive and defensive game. She had 3 steals, 3 assists, 6 points and was 2 for 2 from the foul line, although she only played 18 minutes.

Wilmer continued to play ag­gressive basketball against Mon­mouth. "She hustled and fought for everything. She was a real scrappy player," a teammate said of Wilmer, who had 7 points in the contest.

The Lady Foxes were down by 2 at the half and held on with 7 minutes left to play. Torza got 2

technical fouls called against her. "My fouls were detrimental. They threw the girls off," she said. The team did not score for 4 minutes afterwards.

"We were working the ball well throughout the entire game and taking good shots but they just weren't falling," Jennifer Gray said.

Pharr led the team with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Ekambi chipped in 11" points and 10 re­bounds; Winter had 9 points, while Una Geoghegan contributed 6. -

The women's team was scheduled to face Wagner, the conference leader, at home Tues­day, and to play Iona College in a non-conference competition tonight at the McCann Center at 8 p.m.. Saturday, the women's and men's teams face L.I.U., starting at 5:30.

"We must play 40 minutes of good basketball to ensure our standing in the conference after this week," Torza concluded.

The Seahawks, who were led by Terrance Bailey with 19 points, were unable to establish their well-known running game due to a stubborn Marist defense which played a 2-3 zone throughout the game.

In the FDU contest, Fred Collins hit consecutive one—and-one free throws with seconds remaining to lift FDU to a 57-54 victory.

. The Foxes put in a valiant comeback effort from a 17-point first-half deficit to a 1-point game with 2 minutes"rerriaining;r:';t' '"•

With Marist in deep foul trouble, FDU went to a keep-away game at this point and forced the'Foxes to foul.

• "We were forced to foul, and they made their free throws," said Furjanic.

Eggink led the Foxes with a game high 24 points while Smits chipped in 12. . -

The Foxes were able to hold senior forward Larry Hampton, a

30-point scorer in the last meeting between the two squads at Marist last month, to 9 points.

A bad year gets worse by Ian O'Cowror - . - - . « '

It hasn't been a good year for Marist College basketball in terms of ,its relationship with the local media. And from, the looks of things, that relationship won't be getting any' better in the near future., ~ \

• Marist Head Coach Matt Fur­janic recently announced that the men's team-has a new, policy in­volving - the .. local > media, specifically,' The ' Poughkeepsie Journal and The Circle.'This new policy .disallows "newspaper reporters" from travelling to road

.games with the team. I separate "newspaper reporters" from the rest of the media for a .specific purpose, which I'll explain short­l y . .••••

Before I go into Furjanic's decision, I'd like to take a look at some of the more embarrassing' moments the basketball program has suffered due to the local media's extensive coverage of the

team. You all know - when it started —>- frequently referred ,to as "Black Friday"— the day former Head Coach Mike Perry was forced to resign. While this event had the partial observer's at Marist crying, it had the impartial observers from the area laughing at the school's ineptitude.

. College President Dennis Mur­ray then met with the media to tell them why this "tragedy" had oc­curred. Perry had violated NCAA rules, Murray explained, by offer­ing illegal benefits to one player, on one occasion. Nobody in the audience seemed to buyTit",' but that's "what was reported in the following day's papers.

That is until The Circle's report that Perry was dismissed primary ly due to a personal complaint fil­ed against the former coach by a member of the team. This was the first and last published statement that cited reasons other than NCAA violations as the cause of Perry's downfall. In short, "on

the record" was one story, "off the record" was quite another.

So it was'back to the NCAA violations." Murray maintained that the wrongdoing involved one player and one incident. But that started to get questioned and, ironically, wasn't even supported by Perry. .The ex-coach told The Circle in October that he "probably committed 40 viola­tions" during his reign as Marist's head coach. That didn't look too good in print.

Nor did the comments Joseph Belanger made to The Poughkeepsie Journal the next day. Belanger, the faculty member who first informed Mur­ray of Perry's violations, told The Journal that the coach had taken a player on two overnight trips to New York City. That makes two violations, not one. Days later, Belanger told The Circle that he knew of only one overnight trip, not two.

During this time, the college

had been conducting an investiga­tion of the program at the request of the NCAA. Although Marist refused to release its findings to the media, a Journal story cited the team's free use of a local health club as a possible viola­tion. Further questioning of team members by Journal sportswriter Paul Hurley on the subject of violations got some people angry. Hurley was asked not to travel with the team anymore, which eventually led to The Circle get­ting the boot also.

I disagree with Matt Furjanic's recent decision. My main conten­tion is that although The Circle does wish to be treated as a pro­fessional newspaper, it simply doesn't have a Fortune 500 com­pany paying for travel expenses as The Journal does. The students pay tuition to the college, which uses that money to fund the athletic program. This alone should make the presence of a stu­dent reporter on the team.bus a.

right, arid not a privilege to be given or taken away.

Furjanic's \ argument that it would be unfair to The Journal if The Circle got a "scoop" while on the bus is a legitimate point. But while that's a tough task for a weekly paper to pull off, it cer­tainly wouldn't be for a local radio station. And that's why I said Furjanic's policy only affects "newspaper' reporters." WKIP, which does all Marist games, re­mains on the bus.

A paranoia seems to be developing around,this program. Of course, the NCAA's snooping around doesn't help matters. But a Division One basketball pro­gram looking for recognition has to have a healthy relationship with the media. It's essential.

I commend Matt Furjanic and Dennis Murray on their constant availability to the media. But that's not enough. This new policy is a step in the wrong direc­tion.

Rik Smits: 7-3 center finds happiness as a Red Fox by John Cannon

, Rik Smits is on top of the world.

Not because he stands 7-3 (and still growing), but because he is having the best time of his life. , The 18-year-old left his home in

Einhoven, Holland, last summer to pursue a basketball career in the United States. He had offers from major schools such as Loui­siana - State and Fresno State Universities, but decided to come •to Poughkeepsie,,N.Y., to don a, RedFox:unifonrfc--—— ;r £ ••• -•

Smits' rise to becoming a Divi­sion One basketball player can be called incredible, considering he did not play the sport until he was 15. "I went to watch my mother's team play one night and I liked the game," he said. "I began playing with other kids, but I didn't learn anything until I went to basketball camp."

He learned some basic skills at the camp before he played for his high school's club basketball team. 'We didn't have a varsity team at school, so the.competition was not-that-good.-Ssaid-Smits.

While at high school, Smits grew more than nine inches and quickly earned the respect accorded an upcoming player by many Holland coaches. He became a member of the Holland National Team, where he got his first look at intense competition.

"We played against Hofstra once and I had nine blocked shots, in that game," he said. "That's when I knew that I could play Division One basketball An America."

And that's something Red Fox fans can.attest'to.-bn-the-court^;

Smits already has surpassed in­itial expectations, which took into account his relative inexperience. But besides playing more than 25 minutes per game, the freshman center has averaged more than 10 points and almost 6 rebounds per contest.

Most impressive, however, is that Smits leads the team in field goal percentage (.547) as well as blocked shots (2 per game). "I am getting better in each game, both in confidence and consistency.

Swimmers Men

by Michael Robert Murphy After competing in two of its

final three dual meets, the Marist men's swim team looks to end its regular'season when it hosts N.Y. Maritime this Wednesday at the McCann Center. The Red Foxes hope to end their dual-meet season on a winning note before going on to j the Metropolitan Swimming and • Diving Cham­pionships February 2], 22 and 23 at Marist. Marist went into last Tuesday's meet against St. Peter's with a 1-6 record after falling to Queen's College, 63-41, on Jan. 31. Leading Marist with victories against Queen's were sophomore Fred Dever (200-yard butterfly) and juniors Pete Asselin (100-yard freestyle) and Dave Luber (1-meter dive). Luber's victory ex­tended Marist's diving dual-meet streak to 55 straight wins over the last four years. The Red Foxes diving contingent, is looking to capture its fifth consecutive con­ference, title at the Metropolitan Championships in two weeks. Ac­cording to Marist Head Coach Larry Van Wagner, after Wednesday's meet Marist will begin tapering its workouts in preparation for the champion­ships in which it has the goal of bettering its 11th place ranking of a year ago.

Women by Michael Robert Murphy .

•• The Marist women's swim team completed its 1984-85 competitive season with a seventh place finish at the Metropolitan Swimming and Diving Championships at St. Peter's College last weekend.

The Red Foxes finished with a total of 202 points behind first-place Montclair State (N.J.) who compiled 805 points.

Jim Todd,.one of the assistant coaches, has worked with me all year and I owe him a lot, of credit," Smits said. - Off the basketball court, the.

' blond-haired_giant wants to.live the life of a typical American col­lege student. Since he has been at Marist, his whole life has .chang­ed. He is enjoying himself, he says, and wants to spend'four

• years playing in the McCann Center. "I love it here. The. students are really nice and have made me feel welcome - and at home,".he said. -

Smits has not acquired "a> taste for the college's cafeteria food, so he,goes out to eat "as much as possible." He prefers Italian and. Mexican foods, but also likes hamburgers, vegetable soup and fruit. "God, I really miss the food at home," he says laughingly.

The Holland native said he's adapted to'American culture well and especially likes American music and television. Smits' favorite musician is Bruce Spr­ingsteen. He said that he likes most TV shows and has learned a lot of English by watching the tube." - -

What does Smits enjoy most about-Marist College-thus far? "My girlfriend is really important to me. She's helped me themost.. . I've never been in so much love with anyone before," he said. "It's crazy." - . . . Rik's parents came to America to see him play during the last two weeks in January. "That was a

-big thrill for me," he said. "At-

first I was really nervous, but then I played the .way I knew I could." Rik plans to return to Einhoven with his girlfriend for three weeks over the summer to visit his' parents and friends. He will be able to show them his ^personal scrapbook, collected this season oh" his game-by-game perfor­mance as a Red pox.

'Smits continues to improve with each game and has developed-some talents that he would like to show off. "1,-want to dunk the ball more and get the crowd excited and •' into the games," he said, adding that he wants to become stronger and plans, to work out with weights over the summer to enhance-his aggressiveness and positioning under the basket. ~ .

."If I want to make the.pros, I have to build myself up. I have to push myself very hard and try not to get lazy at workouts. I am go ing to do this, and I will definitely get better," he said. • - * . - That kind of confidence and personality is what Rik Smits car­ries with him while at Marist Col­lege, both on and off the basket­ball court. He likes the people, and the people certainly seem to like him. He's on top of the world right now, and is having the time of his life. -
